Just saw an ad for a shorter crank bolt that stated it was a replacement for the factory bolts that have a tendency to brake after 60000 miles. Bolt was 35 bucks. Is this BS just to sell a bolt?

Sure sounds like it. It's true that a lot of these bolts break easily, but I think 35 boners for a bolt is pretty greeeedy, and unnecessary.Quote:

There's gold in dem there gullies (gullibles). You sure it's not a set of bolts for that kind of coin? I got burnt today in a similar fashion - I paid $25 for 2 primer bulbs for my yard gear (well, $12.80 ea). For that price I could've bought 6 bags with 10 per bag and got change (works out to be 40 cents each - some b@stards got cheek dude...) :cussingblack:
here is the item on line

That bolt is for the V6 motors - not sure that will work on the 4g64. That site has lots of stuff for the Montero crowd, some of which will work on our trucks.
I was more concerned/interested in the frightening description about why I need this 35 dollar bolt over any other. I am in the process of replacing my timing belt sprocket and timing mark plate as both were worn out due to not being tightened down correctly.Attachment 20072 You'll see the center of the plate is rounded out so I have no idea where the timing mark should be and the dark area inside the gear is filled with JB weld just in case I have to use it.
